Default Condor - ridge tasks

I've been flying some local Condor races with some of our club members, and we're thinking about trying a ridge task with the Mifflin scenery for a change.

My impression was that Condor didn't simulate ridge lift very well. When I flew Mifflin the last time, I had set a ridiculous 30-knot wind (blowing at the ridge), which of course causes other problems. Is there a trick to it?

At gliderracing.com, they seem to be doing ridge tasks regularly...
